John,

I just watched a video of dozens of desperate people clinging to the
outside of a massive US airplane while it took off, only for some to fall
to their death on the rooftops below. All to escape the Taliban. 

We have to do something to help.

Experts in the region say that a few charities are actually getting
desperate families money, safe transport and legal help with asylum
claims. But they're not the big names everyone knows and lots of NGOs are
too scared to support them.

Our community is different. Thousands of donations right now from us could
go directly to the on-the-ground groups funnelling real assistance in the
middle of this tragedy -- and we don't have to wait for paperwork or
approvals to do it. If we all chip in now -- we could save lives:

Politicians can debate who is at fault for the disaster of Afghanistan
until they are blue in the face.

But in the meantime, thousands of desperate people are trying to escape
the Taliban -- many of whom worked for the US, UK, Canadian, and other
governments in Afghanistan, at great risk to themselves and their family,
hoping to make their country a better, safer place.

Now governments are scrambling to evacuate their own personnel, while many
potential refugees are left desperately flooding the Kabul airport and
rushing into planes. A few charities are helping these people, including
helping to ensure that the lucky few who make it have everything they need
when they land in their new foreign homes.

This is the kind of news that can make us feel impotent. But if enough of
us pull together now, we can give some hope to the people who need it most
-- chip in what you can, everything will go to groups working with those
in need:
